MGR/Jeff « Line 6 POD XT »
Published on 09/19/04 at 15:00 I paid 250.00 for this new at Guitar Center in Tacoma,WA.
This PODxt is an upgrade from the previous Pod ver 2.0. It has all new amp models based on the Line 6 Vetta amplifier. The first thing I did was get online and download an upgrade for the PODxt. It was so simple,and free, now with the upgrade I have more amp models and cab choices. Almost every amp model is a usable tone, and if you feel like tweeking the factory settings(and what gearhead wouldn`t), the combinations of sounds are endless. I know there are those that truly belive that you cannot recreate the warmth of a real tube amp, Buy this POD. I have had the pleasure of putting my PODxt side by side with a 1965 Fender Super Reverb. If you were blindfolded you couln`t tell the difference. Plus with the addition of the Line 6 shortboard, you can switch to any of the different settings, or use volume/Wah with ease. You have complete control. For an additional $99 you can download some of the most sought after amp models, boutique amps, and effects pedals. right from your computer.
The cost of the additional Line 6 shortboard(I belive it to be a must have!) is actually as much as the Podxt.
Nearly indestructable. Solid metal kidney-shaped , and about half the size of your computer keyboard. I owned my original POD ver 2.0 for 2 years without a problem.
This is your best bang for the buck in the amp modeling game. This will plug into any amplifier, will connect direct to mixing board for recording, or will plug straight into the PA for playing live. I have done all three with flawless results. No matter what style of playing, or what type of guitar you plug into it you will be amazed at what it will do right of the box!!
